equities
34
- When you purchase, you are lending money to the issuer
- Issuer could be a corporation, a government, or another entity
- perceived as lower risk
bonds
35
- Typically invest in cash, money markets, and other short-term securities, and aim to achieve better rates of return than are typically available from bank deposit accounts.

multi-asset
37
use investment techniques that can profit from both the ups and downs in share prices and other capital markets
absolute return
38
__________ = f (business risk, financial risk, liquidity risk, exchange rate risk, country risk)
Risk premium
39
_________________ = RRFR + ease or tightness in capit. mkts and exp. infl. + risk premium on investment
Required rate of return
40
the minimum amount of profit (return) an investor will seek or receive for assuming the risk of investing in a stock or another type of security
The required rate of return (RRR)
41
the higher rate of return you can expect to earn from riskier assets like stocks
risk premium (RP)
42
The line that reflects the combination of risk and return available on alternative investments is referred to as the
security market line (SML)
43
The overall opportunity cost of the firm’s capital is a weighted average of the opportunity costs of capital from debt, preferred equity, and common equity.
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
44
The slope of the SML indicates the ____ per unit of risk required by all investors.
return
45
demonstrates a change in the risk characteristics of a specific investment, such as a change in its business risk, its financial risk, or its systematic risk (its beta). This change affects only the individual investment.
movement along the SML
46
Occurs in response to a change in the attitudes of investors toward risk. Such a change demonstrates that investors want either higher or lower rates of return for the same intrinsic risk. This is also described as a change in the market risk premium (Rm − NRFR). A change in the market risk premium will affect all risky investments.
Change in the slope of the SML
47
Reflects a change in expected real growth, a change in market conditions (such as ease or tightness of money), or a change in the expected inflation rate.
- Such a change will affect all investments
Shift in the SML
48
determined by the cash flows you expect that asset to generate over its life and how uncertain you feel about these cash flows
- Assets with high and stable cash flows should be worth more than assets with low and volatile cash flows
The intrinsic value of an asset
49
Assets are valued by looking at how the market prices similar assets
Relative valuation
50
1) TIME HORIZON (GENERALLY SPLIT INTO TWO SUB- PERIODS: FROM PERIOD 1 TO PERIOD 5; THEN RESIDUAL LIFE)
2) DETERMINATION OF CASH FLOW: PERIOD «0»
3) CHOICE OF GROWTH RATES OF NOPAT, REINVESTMENT
4) FORECAST OF FIRST PERIOD CASH FLOWS (GENERALLY FOCUSING ON A PERIOD OF 5 OR 10 YEARS; THEN FORECAST OF FIRST YEAR CASH FLOW RELATED TO THE SECOND RESIDUAL, INFINITE, SUB-PERIOD
5) ESTIMATE OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL (WACC)
6) PRESENT VALUE OF FIRST SUB-PERIOD CASH FLOWS AND OF FIRST YEAR CASH FLOW OF SECOND PERIOD: BOTH OF THEM DISCOUNTED USING THE FIRST SUB-PERIOD WACC. BY DOING THIS,YOU GET THE VALUE OF THE ENTIRE COMPANY’S OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES. THEN YOU DEDUCT, FROM THIS VALUE, THE NET FINANCIAL POSITION (DEBT ...), AD FIND THE EQUITY VALUE OF THE FIRM (FCFE).
Discounted cash flow method
steps to estimate the intrinsic value of the firm and of its equity
51
DCF =
CFt = cash flow period t
r = discount rate
t = periods, ranging from 1 to infinity
52

Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT)
53
____ = operating income (1- tax rate)
NOPAT
54
_____ = after-tax operating income - (net capital expenditures + change in non-cash working capital)
Free cash flow to firm (FCFF)
55
_____ = net income - net capital expenditure - change in working capital + new debt issued
Free Cash flow to equity (FCFE)
56

- reflects the firm's capacity to pay dividends
FCFE
57
The overall opportunity cost of the firm’s capital is a weighted average of the opportunity costs of capital from debt, preferred equity, and common equity.
- A project should be undertaken only if the return on invested capital is greater than its opportunity cost
Weight average cost of capital (WACC)
58

what you give up as a consequence of your decision to use a scarce resource in a particular way.
opportunity cost
60
model says that equity shareholders demand a minimum rate of return equal to the return from a risk-free investment plus a return for bearing extra risk.
This extra risk is often called the "equity risk premium", and is equivalent to the risk premium of the market as a whole x a multiplier--called "beta"--that measures how risky a specific security is relative to the total market.
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
61
1) cost of capital components
- Debt Capital: The after-tax cost of debt-capital = The Yield-to-Maturity on long-term debt x (1 - marginal tax rate %)
- Equity Capital: CAPM --> cost of equity capital = Risk-Free Rate + (Beta * Market Risk Premium)
2) capital structure
3) weighting the components
3 steps to calculate WACC
62
____ = (wd)[kd(1 – t)] + (wps)(kps) + (wce)(kce)
kd = yield to maturity on existing/ new debt; this is the before-tax cost of debt
kd(1-t) = after-tax cost of debt, where t is the marginal tax rate- only interest on debt is paid pre-tax
kps = cost of preferred stock
kce = cost of common equity
WACC
63
____ = Risk-free rate + Beta * ERP
Cost of equity
ERP = equity risk premium
64
____ = average yield on debt * (1- tax rate)
cost of debt (after-tax)
